Today has been a pretty good day by hospital standards. Alivia is slowly being weened from the oxygen and we are at less than half of the volume of early this morning. She has been pretty happy today, wanting to play so much and fighting sleep (sounds like my girl, huh?). She was so happy to see Gigi (as were Dad and I). We got a bit more sleep last night too. Her oxygen levels have been good enough that we haven't set off the alarms today...okay maybe once but thats nothing compared to the last few days.

All of the tests for pnemonia came back negative. But our doc said that the test can show a false negative. So for now we are continueing the meds. She most definetly has the flu and another possibility is that the Gleevec is causing problems with her lungs...Pray hard that this is not true...if it is they would have to stop the meds and for the first time since this started her levels are almost normal. Going in to transplant with levels that aren't normal is really really risky so we, of course want the best for her and that means continueing the Gleevec.

Please keep asking if they can bring me anything...well if you really want to bring something, make a snack or dessert with a note of thanks to the nurses. As always they are stellar and I am so thankful for them.

Better go...not sure how much time I have before she wakes up and i'm supposed to be getting a drink for my mom.
